  • Chapter 9 Water Resources
    Chapter 9 Water Resources 9.1 River Basin Hydrologic Units Under the federal system, the Hiwassee River basin is made up of hydrologic areas referred to as cataloging units (USGS 8-digit hydrologic units). Cataloging units are further divided into smaller watershed units (14-digit hydrologic units or local watersheds) that are used for smaller scale planning like that done by NCEEP (Chapter 11). There are 22 local watershed units in the basin, all of which are listed in Table 13.

One of the purposes of the Dam Safety Law is to ensure maintenance of minimum streamflows below dams. The Division of Water Resources (DWR), in conjunction with the Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC), recommends conditions related to release of flows to satisfy minimum instream flow requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES Microfiche and hard copy available from Denver Office, Denver, Colorado. Ed:REC 6. ABSTRACT This investigation of the alkali-silica reactivity of four dams in the southeastern United States supplements a similar study on five dams in southwestern United States. The investigations involved an onsite inspection and laboratory studies of concrete cores. The investigative procedures included petrographic examination, relative humidity measurements, length changes of cores exposed to moist air at 100 OF and to sodium hydroxide solution, and osmotic cell measurements. A comparison or observations on the southeastern and the southwestern dams is made. The manifestations of distress due to the reaction are similar, and the effects of alkali content of the cement, different types of reactive aggregates, surface drying, and climate exposure conditions are noted. 7.

    Sent via email to Bill Towson at [email protected] on December 10, 2018. TO: Georgia Department of Community Affairs, 2018 International Plumbing Code Task Force DATE: December 10, 2018 RE: Georgia State Minimum Standard Plumbing Code on Plumbing Fixture Water Efficiency Dear Department of Community Affairs, As a steadfast advocate for sustainable building practices and responsible resource use, Southface recognizes the importance of advancing water efficiency standards in Georgia. We write to express our strong support of the proposed amendment to the 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC) submitted by the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District (MNGWPD) on October 30, 2018. Given currently available technologies, MNGWPD’s recommendations are reasonable advancements in water efficiency standards, and it is our understanding that the resulting water, energy, and financial savings will be significant. The proposed further-reduced flow rates for showerheads, (private) lavatory faucets, and kitchen faucets will save consumers money and continue to conserve our state’s limited water resources. As Georgia’s population continues to grow, conserving water will be of increasing importance to our economy and quality of life. In addition, saving water is vitally important to Georgia’s efforts to conserve energy. Energy generated by power plants across the state is used to clean, treat, and distribute water to our homes and businesses. Electricity and gas are used to heat water in our homes and businesses for everyday use. As described in Attachment C of the Code Amendment Form submitted by MNGWPD there will be significant financial savings to home and business owners as a result of the reduced energy and water use achieved.
